Which becomes part of yours.
Did you ever dance here?
I was a nervous boy,
and a nervous man.
Everything scared me.
What the hell's wrong
with you?
You were born
with two left feet!
A chemist, for my problem,
gave me silver nitrate.
You know this?
Yes. A poison, today.
But we were not
so smart back then.
I drank it and when it didn't
work, I drank more.
It turned my skin this color.
A side effect.
Permanent, I'm afraid.
My life as a man was over.
My life as a freak had begun.
I had many names.
Algeria. Tanzania.
I had never been
to any of those places.
It made me feel... exotic.
One summer, I came here.
Ruby Pier.
The ocean. The sand.
I could walk in the mornings,
before the customers arrived.
I can feel the sea breeze.
Like a normal man.
I was happy here
until the day I died.
You see, Edward.
This is not your heaven.
It's mine.
What?
What...
killed...
you?
You did.
You see the boy?
See the man in the car?
It was only my second time.
It was on a Saturday morning.
I thought, what can happen?
I so loved it, behind
the wheel of an automobile.
Like a normal man.
Watch it... look out!
What I almost did.
That little boy.
My blood was rushing.
My heart was not strong.
And it surrendered.
The police wrote 'heart attack'
on the official papers.
No one saw.
No one knew.
No one pays much notice to
a freak, even when he dies.
People just...
go on with their lives...
You see now
why you are here...
God help me, Mister.
I didn't mean it...
You dying...
I didn't know!
But how could you know?
You were only a child.
So now I gotta pay, right?
- Pay?
- For my sin?
That's what I'm here for,
right? Justice?
No, no, no, no. You are here
so I can teach you something.
Each one of your five people...
has one such thing
to show you, to illuminate.
By the end, what you did not
understand in life, you will.
But why do I have
to wear Joe's shoes?
- Quiet!
- Stop wiggling!
But it's my birthday!
I don't want to go.
Well, sometimes you have to do
things you don't want to do.
I remember this...
we had to go to a funeral...
your funeral?
But it's my birthday!
What did I say?
What did I say?
I said be quiet!
Ma?
Come on, son.
I did not attract
a big crowd that day.
But it's not fair!
It was my own stupidity,
running out there like that.
I should have been
the one killed...
not you!
Fairness does not
govern life and death.
If it did, no good man
would ever die young.
During my time on earth...
people died instead
of me, too.
you should have been on.
A fire burns the building that
you left an hour before.
